Political fragmentation and fiscal policy : evidence from German municipalities

Bernard, René - 2017

The government fragmentation hypothesis (GFH) states that coalition governments spend more than single-party governments due to an underlying common pool problem. Using a large panel data set on 604 local governments in the German state of Baden-Württemberg for the 1994-2014 period, I test the...

Bounds on treatment effects in regression discontinuity designs with a manipulated running variable

Gerard, François; Rokkanen, Miikka; Rothe, Christoph - In: Quantitative economics : QE ; journal of the … 11 (2020) 3, pp. 839-870

The key assumption in regression discontinuity analysis is that the distribution of potential outcomes varies smoothly with the running variable around the cutoff. In many empirical contexts, however, this assumption is not credible; and the running variable is said to be manipulated in this...

Elected or appointed? : how the nomination scheme of the city manager influences the effects of government fragmentation ; conference paper

Garmann, Sebastian - 2013 - This version: February 11, 2013

Empirical work on the causal effect of government fragmentation finds diversified results. This might be explained by the fact that studies typically are settled in different institutional environments. To assess in how far the political system might shape the effects of fragmentation, this...

Do coalitions really cause larger government expenditures? : mixed evidence from a regression discontinuity design

Garmann, Sebastian - 2012

This paper measures the causal effect of coalition vs. single-party governments on fiscal policies using a data set of 396 municipalities in the German state of North Rhine-Westphalia in the time period 1985-2004. Using a regression discontinuity design to take the endogeneity of the type of...

Estimation and Inference of Regression Discontinuity Design with Ordered or Discrete Duration Outcomes

Xu, Ke-Li - 2017

We consider the regression discontinuity (RD) design with the duration outcome which has discrete support. The … parameters of policy interest are treatment effects on unconditional (duration effect) and conditional (hazard effect) exiting … probabilities for each discrete level. We find that a flexible separability structure of the underlying continuous-time duration …

A Semi-Nonparametric Estimator of Regression Discontinuity Design with Discrete Duration Outcomes

Xu, Ke-Li - 2018

We consider the regression discontinuity (RD) design with the duration outcome which has discrete support. The … parameters of policy interest are treatment effects on unconditional (duration effect) and conditional (hazard effect) exiting … structure of the underlying continuous-time duration process. Simultaneous inference over discrete levels is nonstandard since …

Quantile treatment effects in the regression discontinuity design : process results and gini coefficient

Frölich, Markus; Melly, Blaise - 2010

This paper shows nonparametric identification of quantile treatment effects (QTE) in the regression discontinuity design. The distributional impacts of social programs such as welfare, education, training programs and unemployment insurance are of large interest to economists. QTE are an...
